Dear host family,

My name is Gela and I am from Georgia. I am 15 years old and currently studying in 10th grade. I don’t have a big family. It’s just me, my sister, my mom and my dad. Even though we are a small family, we are really close and spend a lot of time together. We love watching movies together, playing board games and going on trips. My family has a wine business and we all take part in it. My father is owner of this business and he does most of the work, but I always help him and do my best. For example, I support him by preparing wine or delivering it so that we can send it out for sale. My mom helps us too, but she doesn’t have much free time since she is a special education teacher. She teaches students with disabilities.

In my free time, I always go out with my friends. I love playing football with them, being competitive and feeling that energy and teamwork of being in a group. One of my favorite activities is playing chess or going out for swimming. As I mentioned earlier, I also love traveling with my family and exploring new cities or towns. I’ve been to so many countries and met so many interesting people from diverse backgrounds. After every trip, I realize how different and fascinating each corner of the Earth is.

I can say that I am pretty communicative person and I find it easy to make new friends. My family and friends usually describe me as open-minded, easygoing and reliable person. I guess I agree with them.

I hope to see how students and people live in America. As long as I remember I always dreamt of going to America and study in America’s school. I also want to find new important people who will be a part of my life for the rest of my life

I am really excited to meet you in person and become a part of your family. I wonder who you are, what you like and how you spend your free time. I am sure we will get along really well and create unforgettable memories together.
